I am currently looking for some info to solve a problem with thinkpads and logitech cordless mice over ps/2. Basicly the wheel doesnt work. Looking closer they dont respond to the imps/2 or mousemanps/2 protocol. Since cordless mice are more common than thinkpads, I think the problem would be solved if it was with the mouse. So I am guessing the IBM defaults to just repeating standard ps/2 protocol, and you have to first trick that before you trick the mouse. Since it works in windows there IS a way... Where do I find the public available protocols, and the secrets? :) And for the list, who should I notify that I am working on autodetecting IBM thinkpad ps/2 repeaters in mouse driver?
